Devin Haney volunteering to fight Gervonta Davis on December 5th

Devin Haney volunteering to fight Gervonta Davis on December 5th

Eddie Hearn reveals that WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney is ready to replace Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero as the replacement for WBA ‘regular’ champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on December 5th.

Haney is the second big name that has stepped forward to volunteer to face Tank Davis on December 5th. Last Saturday night, Regis Prograis said he’ll face Gervonta on that date, but he doubts that they’ll want to use him.

Hearn has been trying to negotiate a deal between Haney and interim WBC lightweight champion Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz Jr., but he’s gotten nowhere with that.  Eddie is now calling Diaz Jr. “No-Go” Jojo.

Jojo Diaz hasn’t signed, and not surprisingly, Hearn is losing patience with the process because he needs to find an opponent to save the December 4th date for Haney.

If Hearn wants to turn Haney into an overnight star, matching him against Gervonta is one way to achieve that goal. If Haney beats Tank, he would be a huge name, and he’ll have the chance to fight the likes of Teofimo Lopez, Vasily Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, and possibly even Ryan Garcia.

This is the fight that Haney needs to build him into a star. Jojo Diaz Jr would be a good fight for Haney, but he’s already been beaten, and he’s not viewed as being on the same level as Tank Davis.

“I spoke with Devin Haney, and I said, ‘Are you happy to put your name in the mix?’ And he said, ‘Yeah,’ because at the moment ‘No-Go Diaz’ has not signed his contract after being offered more to fight Devin Haney than he was getting to fight Ryan Garcia,” said Hearn to Boxing Social on Joseph Diaz Jr. lagging in inking the contract to challenge Haney for his WBC title.

“So we’ll have to see what happens,” said Hearn. “We want to make the Jojo Diaz fight, but he has to hurry up and sign the contract.”

Gervonta, Mayweather Promotions, and Showtime are in a challenging position where they need to find a household name to replace Rolly  Romero because this is a PPV card.

Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is the frontrunner to replace Rollly as Tank Davis’s opponent. Still, he’s not well known in the U.S. Unless Showtime wants to move Gervonta’s December 5th fight off PPV, they’re going to need a more prominent name than Isaac Cruz.

Showtime could be making a massive mistake if they use Cruz as the replacement for Gervonta because the fight won’t sell. If they insist on making Tank’s December 5th fight on PPV, they need to match him against a PPV-worthy opponent.

Jojo Diaz Jr. likely won’t let the Haney fight get away from him if he’s serious about wanting to face him.

If Jojo is dragging his feet to try and get a better deal, he may miss out. Jojo may be pricing himself out because he prefers to wait for Ryan Garcia to heal from his recent wrist surgery before fighting again.

Diaz Jr has a better chance of beating Ryan than he does Haney, and the money would be good fighting him.

    • Tank vs HAney will be the better fight.Its time for Tank to leave!Mayfeather.Tank should be getting the big fights.Tank should just focus on his own brand.

  2. Devin Haney will beat Tank. Tank has a devastating punch, but he can’t punch what he can’t see. Haney can punch Tank into a soft mush.

  3. Let’s see Haney vs Lopez and Tank vs Garcia and The winner fight each other how that sounds both are great fights , that’s what the people want to 👀👍👊

    • Tank vs. Haney Would Be The BETTER FIGHT & Worth WATCHING! 50/50 OUTCOME Of Who WINS! I WOULD DEFINITELY WATCH!👍

    • Get serious,Garcia couldn’t bet either one,tank or Haney. Stop filling his head with bull#$#$. He knows he couldn’t win against either one.facts, period,point blank….

    • Maybe in your dreams! Devin Haney would hand him his ass! That’s why no one wants to fight him! Garcia is nothing but a premaddona!

    • Andy you must be smoking something Ryan is week , especially when he says on the Mike Tyson podcast he wanted to fight Tank , doing all that cha cha dancing . What happened to that we never heard a peep from him since . Ryan is just like Lopez . 🦆 🦆 Stop ducking and fight when was his last fight, oh I forgot he makes so many excuses . He’s a lame 🦆

    • Garcia, couldn’t beat any of them,he has speed and that’s it,his boxing skills isn’t good enough to beat any of them

    • Delahoya and averez was supposed to whoop Floyd now get mad he don’t want none of them he need to fight them on his way out the game like delahoya

  6. Mayweather holds the record for most champions fought and most championship fights won. He fought every single champion that existed doing his reign. So wtf are you talking about he cherry picked or the fighters were old?

    • Every single champion huh? If he fought every single champion, he would have been an undisputed champion, but he never was.

    • Floyd Mayweather was not undeated he lost against Pacquiao. He was given the fight because he had influence. Check out the fight. He also lost against Sugar Ray Leonard He would have lost to Rios if it wasn’t for the sucker punch.

    • Mayweather fought them all but they were all past their prime when he fought them

  7. YA THERE BOTH GREAT FIGHTER SO Y NOT LET THEM GO AT DEC.5 ON PPV BUT ME I HAVE MY MONEY ON TANK I SEEN HIM TAKE A PUNCH BUT I’VE NEVER SEEN DEVIN TAKE A REAL PUNCH SO MY MONEY IS ON BMORE TANK DAVIS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

  9. Floyd Junior isn’t going to let that happen. He’s trying to teach Tank how to take the least amount of risk for the most amount of money; just like Junior did in his career. THEN add those big names to your resume after they’ve had too many wars, have gone up in age, or have just begun the downhill slide to their career. Don’t fight the best of the best, multiple times, in their primes at all cost; protect that zero, and cherry pick your way to the bank. That’s the TMT Model.

  10. I think tank Davis is better than anybody that you can put in front of him he reminds me of Iron mike Tyson

  11. Fighter’s been ducking each other for a long time mostly”lower weight class ‘for example sugar ray”ducted Aron Pryor 🤫🤫🤫

  12. Tank is a beast…Lomo don.t want the big names..Lopez wasn.t supposed to be that good…surprise..he was…and Ryan Garcia.. is trash…he scared of the big names…he was talking about Haney fight and was only bluffing…he don.t want tank…give him Gary Russell Jr who will probably beat him..he not a big puncher…just kinda…just kinda fast…How about Haney vs Lopez..or Lomo against Tank…if Lomo ain.t still faking he deserves to be there…?

    • BRONER IS A STEPPING STONE FOR TALENTED AND NOT SO TALENTED YOUNG FIGHTERS BEATING UP BRONER TO GET A GOOD WIN TO KEEP FIGHTING. THE LAST TIME I SAW BRONER FIGHT, AFTER GETTING HIS ASS KICKED ANGRILY SAID THAT THE JUDGES WERE WRONG. WHAT A C–K SUCKER!!!

    • BRONER IS A BUMB, HE IS A LOUD MOUTHED JERK WHO THINKS HE IS HANDSOME WITH HIS UGLY ASS. YOUNG & OLD FIGHTER UPCOMING FIGHTERS USE BRONER AS A STEPPING STONE. HE CLAIMED AFTER THE PACQUIAO HE CLAIMED THAT HE WON, NO ONE AGREED WITH HIM.
      HE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT WINNING AFTER LOSING ANOTHER FIGHT NOT LONG AFTERWARDS HE ANGRILY SAID THAT HE WON. LET BRONER REST IN PEACE, HE IS WASHED UP!!!

  15. Put Shakur Stevenson on there against Davis or Haney and make it an exclusive ppv to really see how boxing is I’m taking Stevenson all the way .for anyone who hasn’t seen this young brother fight you missing out ,he definitely can throw down .so to Eddie hearts stop making trash fights and get people who wants to fight in the ring everyone greedy now for money and can’t even fight.its all about money fight 3 to 4 times a year make boxing interesting

  16. THE “BOOTS GUY” IS READY TO START KICKING SOME A=/÷×. THEY ALL SHOULD FALL-IN.

    • Jaron is a welterweight, these are lightweights. Different division and I rather see boots vs bud. Would be entertaining to see two switch hitters go at it.

  17. Davis is just like his promotion…frauds…all these top contenders in ur division you continue to duck them to fight smaller known fighters who move up….sounds familiar

    • Mayweather production and Tank will find all the excuses and they will end up fighting another tomato can. He’ll be 35-0 with no major victories. Sounds like Mayweather, huh,??? All he has is a big head, little arms, and bugging out eyes.

  19. Issac Pitbull Cruz…..would be an awesome action packed blood bath….PPV would sell he’s a pretty good well know Mexican brawler….relentless puncher! People would win if this fight happens.

  20. Well Davis n Haney should fight back in the 80s champions would fight 4 times a year now they fight 2 times come on make that money isn’t that what its about 🤔

    • Back then the money wasn’t as good why beat yourself up when you can make twice the amount in one fight

  26. Put Gary Russell on card try and take his belt let fighters fight!!!! that’s what I pay to see .media can pump that up and watch Davis get schooled Flloyd make it happen . Boxing has become a real joke for real.

  27. It’s about time someone steps up and stops hiding. I would love to see these 4 fighters go at it. Haney, Lopes, Davis, and Garcia.

    • U forgot lomo. U should start w lomo he is gonna smash all these chumps til he gets wrecked by tank Davis. Lomo still has it, ppl seem to forget bout a p4p champ just because of 1 split decision loss. Bet he beats lopes they go again. i know they haven’t ran that goght

  29. Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis would be a great match-up on PPV because these two champions appear to be the only ones who are willing to take on all comers! They are both very skilled and talented, they’re both hungry to be the best in their class, they’re undefeated, and I think they both want to please the fans and have the whole world recognize them as the Champions that they are!
    The lightweight division is saturated with talent ; but these two fighters, Gervonta and Devin, stand out among all the others because of their willingness and drive to be the best!!!!!

    • You’re out of your mind. Action speaks louder than words. Neither of these two are willing to take on all comers. Talk is cheap. You should of learned how boxing and hype work by now

    • I believe Devin will knockout tank Davis or when a decision I think he’s a lot better boxer very smart just shows me power and that’s against smaller guys he is a for anybody other than Pedroza at Junior lightweight that’s worth mentioning when he won the ibf title

  31. Wow! Bout time someone Step up to the Plate. Is Devan ready for this type of Smoke?

  32. It’s a no-brainer, Dev and Tank is the logical, but who will duck who? Who’s asking for all the smoke? Exactly 🤣😂 let’s see🤔. ….

  33. You see Lopez Ryan Garcia lomachenko wants to fight these brothers so these brothers might as well get in the rain and make big paydays for they self the Mexican fighters with these Bell to skill let’s just call it what it is apples apples oranges oranges and grapes or grapes bust-1

  34. Devin has been ready for all fighters in his weight class, the problem is since this sport is not regulated like all the other professional sports and they have all of these sanctioning bodies doing the additional dirt its hard for the good fighters to get anyone worthy of a challenge.

  36. The fans are finally seeing who’s not running from the “SMOKE” keep that Preasure on the “DEV”
